Re: Has anyone tried a DSO Nano?

Yep I have one (I believe it's a v2) and it works fine. Only comes with 1 probe which sucks (and doesn't have two ports either so it's not like you can just buy another) but for setting gains it works fine. Settings amplifier gains is about the simplest thing you can do with an oscope, it has the potential to do much more if you know how to use it.

Re: Has anyone tried a DSO Nano?

Yeah I have the DSO Nano V2 (Buy DSO Nano v2 [TOL131B2P] | Seeedstudio). For what it is, it's pretty nice. It's my go-to device for setting gains. I got mine for just under $100 new. It might seem complicated at first, just looking at the UI in screenshots / videos really confused me at first, but it's actually quite simple once you get used to it. I bought a custom probe for it that supports 10x / 1x. Which essentially puts a resistor in-line with the signal for high-power applications. This is not necessary for most people, but it works for me when setting amp gains that output very high voltages.

If you want to use it for high power amps i'd recommend the x10 probe upgrade that I mentioned. Here's the tutorial I followed for it if you're interested:

Re: Has anyone tried a DSO Nano?

Like I said for most people it's not necessary. It's basically just hacking up an x10 probe and putting a 3.5mm jack on the other end so it will work on the DSO. I just suggested it in case you had any high-power gain setting to do.

Mine is just like the one you linked, but a couple years old. I know the firmware has changed since but last I knew there was an active forum of people doing upgrades for them. Not sure if that's still true.

I remember the purple background trace, and I think it went away with the BenF firmware update. It's been a while, and my memory sux.
